First Day of School

I can't believe I'm just now posting this considering the first days of school were LAST week...but that's how life goes!

Summer is officially over and school has begun. Back to routine bedtimes, homework, school activities, schedules and so much more that comes along with it! I still have a few more things to share about our summer...but that is to come in another post.

Maddie started 2nd grade this year on Monday (of last week). She was pretty excited to go to school...but some of that was from the fact that she had been going to Summer Jam for several weeks prior to give her a little extra boost into 2nd grade! Her first day went very smoothly, except for the fact that Ashlyn was pretty bummed that she wasn't starting that day too! She's been talking about being in Kindergarten since the moment she finished her last day at preschool. She was sooooo excited to ride the bus and to go to school with her big sister and to be at school for the WHOLE DAY! However, Ashlyn's first day wasn't until Wednesday (still of last week). The school decided to ease the kindergartners into school by setting up individual parent/teacher conferences on Monday and Tuesday so that the kids and their parents could meet their teachers and see their classrooms BEFORE their first day.
I did the bad mom thing this year as I accidently scheduled an eye appointment in the middle of August and it ended up being right on Ashlyn's first day of school. So....here is the photo of Ashlyn's ACTUAL first day of school....opening the door to the school since Chris and I had to take her to school instead of her riding the bus the first day. (sorry about the bad quality...we only had Chris' cell phone with us that day!)

And...here is her first day of riding the bus! Every mom has to have that picture of their baby getting on the bus for the first time!
So now I have two babies...and yes, they are still my babies... in school!
